Marchesi Antinori | Tuscany
Marchesi Antinori S.p.A. | Piazza Antinori 3 | IT 50123 Firenze
Intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose is dominated by varietal notes with excellent freshness and fine intensity. Solaia 2012 is of classic style and shows pleasant flavour harmony on the palate, marked by the right acid-tannin balance and excellent fruit enjoyment throughout the tasting. Great personality and long aftertaste presence make the final absolutely complex and persistent. SUPERIORE.DE
"Another intense, tightly-wound wine, the 2012 Solaia is likely torequire a number of years in bottle before it is ready to drink.Graphite, smoke, plums, black cherries, rose petal and mint meldtogether effortlessly in the glass. Here, too, the style is all aboutgrace and finesse. The 2012 Solaia is going require patience, but allthe elements are in the right place. In 2012, the Cabernet Franc isnearly 7% of the blend, which is on the high side." VINOUS
"The 2012 Solaia is the ultimate comfort wine: It serves as abeautiful monument to the potential of Italian wine. Let me give yousome context. My lukewarm review of the 2011 vintage caused some headsto turn. Happily, the previous vintage has served as a springboard forthis current release. Both 2011 and 2012 come from hot climaticconditions, but these wines are very different in style and content. The 2011 heat softened the lines that make up the varietal identity of this celebrated Tuscan blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc andSangiovese. Those lines are presented in sharp focus with the 2012edition. The nose is redolent of dark berry, crushed mineral, plum,spice and touch of white pepper. The wine is integrated and seamless,but it speaks with a strong and articulate voice." Wine Advocate
"This stunning expression of Solaia opens with ample aromas ofexotic spices, tilled soil, mature black-skinned fruit and an underlying whiff of fragrant blue flowers. The vibrant, elegantly structuredpalate doles out high-toned black cherry, ripe blackberry, white pepper, cinnamon, clove and Mediterranean herbs alongside a backbone of firm,polished tannins and bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast
"Extremely impressive ripe dark fruits of blueberries, plums andblackberries follow through to a full body, round texture and brightacidity. The finesse and depth to this red is stunning making it awonderful successor to the 2011 Solaia. Needs three or four years tosoften and open." James Suckling
"Ripe plum and black cherry notes are augmented by toast, spice and tobacco details in this muscular red. Turns more compact on the finish, where dense, dusty tannins reign. Just needs time to integrate." Wine Spectator
